Over the past few seasons, Michigan State’s defensemen haven’t been a big part of the Spartans’ offense. This season, it’s different. MSU is creating more scoring chances, putting more pucks in the net, and the defensive corps is a big reason for a more dangerous attack, and it’s helping win games. Six Spartan defensemen have combined for 10 goals and 22 assists for 32 points in 16 games. That’s 24% of MSU’s 41 goals scored and 26.9% of its 119 points. This year, there’s a big emphasis on joining the rush and finding open spots to score or keep plays alive.
Michigan State hockey lost a lot of top-tier players and a lot of production this past spring with the graduation of starting goaltender John Lethemon, leading point-getter Patrick Khodorenko, and forward Sam Saliba, among others. The Spartans will need to have several players step up if they want to take the next step and compete for a Big Ten title. However, the Spartans have numerous guys on the roster who are poised to take that next step.
